A new report explores why the iPad Pro Smart Connector failed to take off, with some companies simply saying that they see no reason to enter an accessory market where Logitech already has a keyboard in place.
Logitech today announced that its CREATE Keyboard Case with Smart Connector is getting a new version specifically made for the 9.7-inch iPad Pro. Originally released for the larger 12.9-inch model, the CREATE keyboard takes advantage of the iPad Pro's Smart Connector in order to remove the need for the accessory to be powered by a battery or connect to the tablet via Bluetooth.
iPad Air 3 case leak suggests that the 9.7-inch tablet could feature an iPad Pro-like Smart Connector, four speakers among other changes. Read on for more details.
Apple's updated Lightning To SD Card Camera Reader accessory released today adds support for USB 3.0 speeds on iPad Pro, as well as iPhones running iOS 9.2 and above.
Known for making high-quality accessories for numerous devices, Logitech has today announced a bunch of new cases for the iPad lineup under its new marketing brand "Logi." The new BLOK family of iPad cases promises level of protection unlike before.
With Apple continuing to expand and push the capabilities of its HomeKit framework / program to developers and hardware manufacturers alike, it's inevitable that multiple new pieces of hardware will start to hit the market in the coming months. That can actually only be a good thing as we well and truly enter into the "Internet of Things" era, and will serve to offer serious choice for consumers as they embark on an iOS controlled home automation revolution. The recently announced Twist is yet another smart accessory, but one that hasn't yet jumped on the HomeKit bandwagon, choosing instead to rely on an Internet connection and Apple's AirPlay protocol.
Ladies and gentleman, the future has eventually arrived. According to an official blog post on Citrix's website, the company is on the verge of launching a wireless Bluetooth mouse that will allow us to control our mobile devices - iPhone, iPad or any Android gadget. For nearly a decade, perplexed consumers have wondered why it isn't easily possible to connect a typical mouse to a mobile device like it is with a computer or notebook. Now, thanks to Citrix, we can finally start embracing the future.
Mophie has just expanded its Space Pack lineup of cases to the iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus and iPad mini. The cases in question not only provide extra battery juice for the aforementioned devices, but offer up to 128GB of additional storage space. More information to follow, right after the break.
USB flash drives are fairly cheap, and nowadays, you can pick one up online with capacities exceeding 100GB for next to nothing. In fact, 128GB thumb drives are fairly commonplace, and effortlessly convenient since files can be moved around without the need for hard drives or cloud storage, which requires a decent Internet connection when we're talking about the hundreds of gigabytes. Today, SanDisk has launched a variant of its existing flash drive that not only offers 128GB for an enticing sub-$150 price point, but it also packs its own Lightning connector that brings Apple's iPhone and iPad into play.
It was way back with the iPhone 5 in 2012 that Apple introduced the smaller, reversible (although still proprietary) Lightning cable, which signaled the end of the 30-pin connector. Of course, many still did, and still do use devices rocking the old 30-pin socket, which is why Apple's World Travel Adapter Kit has hitherto included a 30-pin cable. Recognizing that after two-and-a-half years, many folks are now running on Lightning, the pack has been relieved of the 30-pin cable, and notably, now arrives at a cheaper cost.
